Red packets for Chinese New Year

No comments

Gong Xi Fa Cai, or Gong Hey Fat Choi! We had a jolly good time visiting our relatives in Hong Kong, and welcoming in the year of the Tiger --- rooooaaar! My son had fun receiving lots of red packets (aka lai see or ang bao) from them too. For those of you who aren't Chinese, red packets are a little bit like Christmas presents, except you get money inside little red envelopes, and you can open them on the day you get them (well, best to do it at home!).
Red packets from managed sources
You can reuse this red packet....

...but not the ones with the sticky glue!


You can get your red packets (without the money) FOC from many places, including malls, banks and department shops. I was impressed with the HSBC red packets, and most of the others can be reused as they don't have the sticky glue on them! Why didn't I thnk about reusing last years? I've saved up my red packets for reuse next year - have you?
